Rap, Jazz Mingling More Than Ever

This summer, Hidden Beach Recordings released the third installment in its popular Unwrapped series -- instrumental versions of rap/hip-hop hits by contemporary jazz artists. Jazz trumpeter Roy Hargrove and his RH Factor teamed with Common, Q-Tip, D'Angelo and others for the critically acclaimed "Hard Groove." Its sequel, "Strength EP," comes out Sept. 28. [Reuters]
